"Let's reinvent the wheel" - nobody, every year since the invention of the wheel.

Imagine, you need to learn a new topic. Whom will you ask for a tutorial? Easy answer: an expert in this topic. But now the hard part: Where do you find this expert?

A lot of experts are hiding at CERN. Their friends and colleagues know about them, but you have no chance to encounter them by coincidence. Not even in R1, especially not during this time. However, these experts are giving a lot of talks. And they are all cataloged in Indico, a wonderful platform with a wonderful API to crawl.

Now imagine, you have a tool to find these experts you are looking for, utilizing the information they leave in Indico, e.g. abstracts of the talks they were giving.

A bunch of Summer Students already worked on a similar approach on last year's Webfest. And we continued since then, finding new ideas, collaborators and hopefully you during this year's Webfest!
